Chunky Chocolate Almond Cookies
For the first time in a long time today I made cookies. I’ve been trying to change the way I eat and having cookies around is a big temptation! The great thing about this recipe besides how good they taste is that it only makes 15 large cookies. Yep, they were all gone before bedtime.
I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Bars to make these cookies. Loved all of the great chocolate flavor they gave these cookies. Toasted the almonds before adding them to the cookie dough will also add another layer of goodness!
